I take my photography personally- it's more than a job or a career; this is my lifestyle. I live this experience everyday!
I am a Certified Professional Photographer and I belong to several different professional organizations as well; the Professional Photographers of WV, Professional Photographers of America, the Society of Photo Finishing Engineers, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, as well as the Society for Certified Photographic Consultants.
This allows me to keep up with the ever-changing world of photography as well as trends.
I have been privileged in being a speaker and instructor with several workshops and trade shows over the past few years. I enjoy this as much as the students and participants - it pushes me to keep creating and learning - to stay "relevant" .
That's the challenge and the reward -inspiring and being inspired.
All The Best!
